December Events

We had a yummy Stewardship Luncheon hosted by the Trustees and catered by Chef Joe. If you haven’t put your pledge card in, please do so soon, so the Trustees can budget for next year.

A meeting of Lay Leaders will be held on December 18th at 5:30. Pot luck. All interested lay leaders are welcome.

The Giving Tree is up in the hallway. If you would like to make a person’s Christmas brighter, please take and tag and sign up.

If you would like to buy a poinsettia in honor or memory of someone, the sign up sheet is on the table in the hall.

Our next Council Meeting is January 6th after church. We will be discussing some important issues which you should be thinking about in advance: hiring an administrative assistant, considering shared ministry or continuing lay-led ministry will be two important topics.
